Rosen, Woodside, Calif., assignor to Darlite Corporation, Peoria, Ill., a corporation of Illinois Filed Nov. 20, 1961, Ser. No. 153,483 6 Claims. (Cl. 92223) This is a continuation-in-part of Patent No. 3,041,116 which is a division of Patent No. 3,041,194 filed February 1, 1955 in which a method, apparatus and article have been disclosed by which the margins of a groove or shoulder in an aluminum member are reinforced by rings of flame sprayed hard metal including stainless steel. Other patents owned by the same assignee are the Dailey et al. patents, Nos. 2,833,264; 2,833, 603 and 2,833,668 issued May 6, 1958.

This invention relates to an improved method of fusing a preformed ferrous metal member to a preformed aluminum body and to various products formed thereby.

The term aluminum as used herein encompasses aluminum and aluminum base alloys which contains at least 50% by weight of aluminum and the term ferrous metal includes iron and alloys thereof including steel and particularly stainless steel.

In these earlier inventions for reinforcing aluminum members, layers of hard metal "such as stainless steel are flame sprayed on a prepared aluminum surface. This metallizing step consumes time which is desirable to save if mass production is contemplated at low cost. Even when the layer of sprayed ferrous metal is as thin as 7 the time required is an important competitive consideration.

In the present invention it is possible to ultilize a preformed band or cup of ferrous metal. Such is bonded to a preformed body in a novel way that is rapid and pro duces an article that can be quickly and easily machined with conventional production equipment, yet preserves all the strength, protection, and other benefits attained by the metallizati-on of preformed aluminum bodies just mentioned. The novel method and product contemplates a preformed ferrous member and a preformed aluminum member preferably treated rapidly and simultaneously in timed relationship as described herein, so that they may brought together under predetermined conditions to form a permanently integrated unitary body.

By way of example, for purposes of a better understanding of the benefits of the invention, the present invention is described herein mainly in connection with a forged aluminum body such as an internal combustion engine piston. It is known that outwardly expanding rings of a comparatively hard metal are installed in circumferential grooves cut in the outer surface of pistons to slide and seal against the cylinder walls in internal combustion engines. The first one or two rings near the head of the piston are generally referred to as compression rings and serve to block the escape there-past of flame and hot gases developed during the compression and explosion strokes, whereas the rings further down towards the skirt of the piston are oil rings which check the passage of lubricant past the piston during its reci-procation.

Due to the intense heat to which the head of such a piston is subjected, the aluminum stock around the compression ring tends to soften enough that between the friction with the cylinder wall resisting reciprocating movement of the compression ring and the inertia of the ring itself resisting reversal of its direction of movement under rapid reciprocation of the piston, the harder metal of the piston ring hammers against the soft aluminum 3,203,321 Patented Aug. 31, 1965 stock forming the sides of its groove and enlarges the groove. This hammering is further augmented by the gas pressure dynamics acting on the underside of the top ring with a force superior to inertia forces present which causes a ring flutter each expansion stroke. The hammering condition becomes worse and worse as the groove becomes wider and wider.

In the present invention the piston is provided with a preformed steel band over a piston ring groove area, which band, when the ring grooves are cut therethrough, provides hard metal margins for the ring grooves reinforcing the ring grooves against ring hammer, ring cooling and other deteriorating conditions well understood in the art.

The band receving area of the piston is turned down to a diameter which allows a shrinking of the band thereon. It can be approximately the inside diameter of the band or a little larger at room temperature. Then the surface of the turned down portion is preferably deoxidized or stripped to expose unoxidized metal. This can be done with a chlorine atmosphere at a temperature around 900 F. and thereafter the area is immediately sprayed with a mono-molecular layer of a metal whose melting point is preferably above the boiling point of the aluminum. Although as described in said earlier patents, sprayed molybdenum can accomplish unoxidized metalto-metal contact between molybdenum and aluminum, the stripping of part or all of the oxidized aluminum surface is an aid for production speed and quality control and can be accomplished while the piston is differentially hot enough to provide beneficial molecular activity at its surface for intimate bonding or welding conditions.

While the piston body is being prepared, the preformed steel band is also being prepared. The steel of which the band is made can be of any desired hardness to permit easy machining without loss of adequate reinforcement characteristics. Its preparation involves metallizing its bonding surface with aluminum at a temperature around 900 F. Thereafter, the temperature of the band is brought rapidly to a temperature which activates aluminum to diffuse into the steel to form an interlayer of gradient Fe-Al \alloy. At the temperatures noted the two elements are then brought together for fusion of the defined aluminum coating on the steel ring with the molecular coating on the aluminum body. The surface aluminum portions of the two elements being molecularly active as activated by high frequency induction heating, fuse intimately at the surface boundary protected by the oxide preventing coating interlayer. The aluminum welds against the molybdenum coating as it cools under a mechanical pressure created by a shrink fit or by a machine. Thereafter, the integrated piston is handled and machined as a unit.

Thus, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a rapid and improved method for bonding preformed ferrous metal members to preformed aluminum bodies.

A further object of the invention is to provide a method of integrating ferrous metal and aluminum elements under low cost mass production conditions involving conventional machining tolerances between the elements and including temperature conditions that are easy to attain and are not deleterious to the metals.

A further object of the invention is to convert temperature measurements to time increments under controlled induction frequency conditions to facilitate high speed production of pistons having uniform quality bonds.

These being among the objects of the invention, these and further objects will appear from the drawings, the description relating thereto and the appended claims.

Referring now to the drawings in further detail,'a preformed piston body or blank 10 made of aluminum by casting or preferably by forging is shown in FIG. 1. The blank has a head 14, skirt 13 and axially aligned openings 15 to receive a wristpin (not shown). The blank of 'FIG. 1 is mounted in a machining device according to conventional machine shop practice and preferably a rough cut is taken throughout its length and a further cut approximately to /s" deep is taken as at 17 in FIG. 2 to provide a predetermined reduced diameter over the ring groove area 12 within inspection tolerances. The depth of the cut 17 can be varied for different sizes of pistons and the different thicknesses of bands that are to be received thereon, but oncedetermined for a particular piston the depth should be just enough to receive a predetermined ferrous metal band thereon allow ing for a shrink or pressure fit which when finally machined after installation will have a predetermined thickness within production tolerances that are engineered for the control of weight balance and strength. In this connection, such a band is shown at 36 preformed preferably of ferrous metal from tube stock for uniformity and installed as later described. Both the piston body and band are chemically cleaned before the steps hereinafter described are taken.

The piston blank thus machined is mounted and rotated slowly upon a ceramic turntable 18 which is preferably recessed at 20 to receive the skirt portion lfrtherein to a depth at which the reduced portion 17 is exposed above the upper face 24 thereof. An atmosphere hood 26 having an inlet 28, outlet 30, and carrying an induction heating coil 32 utilizing high frequency induction is lowered over the reduced portion 17 of the piston and a dilute chlorine gas is circulated through the hood. The exhaust at 30 runs continuously for human safety reasons while the inlet is operative only when the hood is lowered in place. Rotation assures uniform application of the atmosphere over the surface of the reduced portion 17. The induction coil 32 is energized in timed relation to bring the heat of the piston blank 10 to approximately 900 F. for an average of 5 seconds, depending upon the aluminum body mass, preferably with an induction frequency of 100,000 to 500,000 c.p.s. so as to penetrate beyond the surface metal as little as possible. At this heat and within this time the chlorine gas provided is expected to dissolve and remove the aluminum oxide pres eat on the surface of the reduced portion 17. It is preferred to determine the chlorine gas dilution empirically for the optimum results described without necessarily increasing the time cycle which incidentally is compatible with the time of preparing the ferrous metal band.

Thereafter, while the reduced portion 17 remains at this temperature the hood 26 and associated reduction coil 32 is removed and a metallizing gun 34 is immediately advanced and moved longitudinally of the piston as indicated in broken lines 37 and the arrow 35 to spray a mono-molecular layer of non-oxidizing metal over the reduced portion 17 to stabilize the surface with a nonoxidizing metal for handling thereafter. This metal can be chosen from a group characterized preferably as being capable in a molten spray condition of boiling or vaporizing the surface aluminum when driven against it. This assures a fuse bond between unoxidized metal surfaces and provides a stable exposed surface which will not oxidize in air, certainly within a short period of time at 900 F. Such metals include molybdenum, tungsten, titanium, cobalt, nickel, columbium, palladium, rhodium an iridium. Of these metals, molybdenum or tungsten is preferred and a spray distance of appreciably less than 3" is desirable, such as 2 /2". The heat of the molten spray will maintain the surface temperature of the piston and when completed in a matter of seconds the gun 34 is retracted and the piston blank 10 is ready to receive immediately the ferrous metal band whose concurrent preparation will now be described.

In the meantime, the feirous metal band 36 has been mounted on a ceramic turntable 40 (FIG. 5) for rotation about its axis inside of a non-rotating induction heating coil 42 ready to receive on the inside surface thereof a layer 43 approximately .001" thick of pure aluminum applied by a metallizing gun 44. The metallizing gun 44 is then advanced and turned on to apply the pure aluminum to the depth desired. Thereafter the gun 44 is retracted (FIG. 6) and the temperature of the band 36 is quickly raised to a temperature of 1450 F. and held there by the coil 42 for approximately 15 seconds to melt the aluminum coating 43. Whereupon, the coil 42 is raised from the turntable 40 far enough for the ring to be mechanically gripped for removal and placed over the reduced portion 17 of the piston blank 10 to cool and shrink thereon (FIG. 7). Thereafter, the assembled piston body is removed from the turntable 18 and permitted to cool to provide a permanently integrated piston body of fused elements now identified with the numeral 50. It will be noted that to facilitate removal, the turntable 18 (FIG. 7) has a raisable central portion 21 (FIG. 3) which lifts the piston 50 out of the cavity 20 for ready handling.

The thickness of the spray coat of aluminum 43 and the brief time that the aluminum is molten, i.e. in a muddy condition, is so determined that the inner portion of the aluminum diffuses into the ferrous metal and alloys therewith to provide an interlayer 45 of gradient Fe-Al alloy (FIG. 12) beween the surface aluminum 43 and the ferrous metal 36 to which it fuses. This interlayer is less than the thickness of the aluminum layer and is preferably by way of example approximately one-half the total thickness of the aluminum in such a relation as .0008 to .0011" Fe-Al alloy layer for .0008 to .0013" aluminum overlay on ferrous metal identified as S.A.E

1045 steel. Such can be determined visually by a SOOX microphotograph of a cross-section given a Nital etch (FIG. 12). Thus, a lustrous aluminum coat is provided which is placed under pressure by the more rapid shrinking of the band 36 against the mono-molecular coating 33 as both cool. A chemical bond at the engaging faces is thereby attained that is unbreakable in use. The presence of a lustrous coat is a visual check during production to assure that no intrusions are present.

After cooling, the integrated piston body 50 is finish machined throughout its length (FIG. 8) to its production tolerances and the ring grooves 52 are cut through the band 36 and into the substrate aluminum ready for final inspection and use. The cutting tools need only be made of high-speed tool steel if desired.

It has been mentioned that the oxidized aluminum surface over the reduced portion 17 need not be removed before metallization with molybdenum. If the step of preliminary removal of oxidized aluminum is omitted, it is desirous to take the piston body as soon after the diameter reducing cut is made. In this instance it can be Wire brushed vigorously to surface harden the aluminum and thereafter it is brought up to the temperature noted and metallized. Molten spray molybdenum of course is relied upon to boil away the oxidized aluminum surface to place the molybdenum particles into unoxidized metal-to-metal fused relationship therewith, preparatory to receiving the aluminum coated band thereon as already described.

It is possible that the molybdenum coat may be minimized if the piston receive on the stripped area 17 the ring 36 before the area becomes again oxidized in any Way. It is preferred to employ the molybdenum for assured production uniformity, particularly if the piston is permitted to cool and is reheated to receive the band.

It will be noted that the temperatures given also provide a very desirable temperature relationship with respect to the compression exerted upon the aluminum 43 trapped within the ferrous metal band 36. The piston blank temperature can be as high as 900 F. and the band temperature as low as 1000 F. when brought together. The aluminum interfaces diffuse together through the molybdenum and bond or weld permanently under the pressure exerted by the band without imposing upon the band an unfavorable tension.

Moreover, a thinness of a preformed band is possible that permits it to breathe Without undue stress with any warm-up or cooling-off of the product which occurs in use while performing work expected of it Whether it Works under tension or compression. Moreover, it has been found that under such work cycles the aluminum tends to diffuse deeper and deeper in the ferrous metal to provide a deepening alloy bond.

Referring now to FIG. 9, the piston is further treated on the head area 14 if desired, preferably by a spray coating as described in said Patent No. 2,833,264, or a thin walled cup or sheet of ferrous metal 60 can be applied under heat and pressure in accordance with the teachings herein set forth. In either event, a flash coating of copper 62 (FIG. 9) is applied to the surface by spray or electrolysis and it has been found that with the heat of engine combustion accumulated in the copper and ferrous metal, the copper oxide which forms on the surface under combustion conditions serves as a catalyst which not only assures complete combustion of the gasoline fuel utilized by an internal combustion engine while work is being done but prevents the formation of benzipyoidine and other unhealthy substances deleterious to human life in the exhaust gases which occurs with an over-rich fuel supply to the engine, particularly during idling.

In FIG. 10, the band 36a is narrower and leaves a space above it to receive the edge 72 of a copper cup 70 thereagainst. In this instance the crown 74 of the piston is also stripped and sprayed with a layer of molybdenum and the inside of the cup is sprayed with aluminum and brought to a melting temperature to diffuse into the copper whereupon the copper cup is disposed in place under pressure from a mechanical press (not shown) until cool and the aluminum layers fuse. Whether the molybdenum layer will be thick or thin depends upon the same considerations of FIG. 9 regarding whether it should serve as a heat rejection weir and to what degree. Moreover, the CuO catalyst may be formed by flame spraying, deposition or sintered powder metallurgy. If carriers are desired A1 0 or SiO can be used by deposition upon small pellets thereof and then sintering.

In fact, in connection with the composition of the catalysts 62 and 70 shown in connection wit-h FIGS. 9 and 10, and the thickness of the molybdenum coating serving as a weir, it is appreciated that the working temperatures of a combustion envelope varies widely in an internal combustion engine whether it is air cooled or watercooled and also the air fuel ratio varies. Therefore, the resulting constituents of the exhaust gases varies also. Of these constituents which may be exhausted two gases, NO and C0, are the two most likely to create problems from a health and smog viewpoint. Separately they are dangerous and when together in the atmosphere in sunlight, they are converted to produce smog having by-products also dangerous to health, comfort, etc.

It has been found that the catalysts 62 and 70 on the Wall of the combustion envelope comprising preferably CuO kept at a surface temperature above 300 C., minimizes the production of NO and CO whenever either one or both are likely to appear. As noted herein the thickness of the molybdenum or a ferrous layer 60 between the catalyst 62 and the aluminum substrate metal at 14 is so determined as to retard rejection of combustion heat to the aluminum body enough to assure maintenance of 200 C. during engine no load idling conditions.

The presence of just the hot wall greatly reduces the problem since it assists full vaporization of wet fuel entering the combustion envelope and thereby enables a fuel enonomy correction that reduces CO. It however does not control the fuel air proportion delivered by commercial carburetors or fuel injectors and such proportions with a given carburetor vary widely due to many factors including use at changing elevations, fuel ratings, etc., generally encountered with general vehicle operations.

With this advance toward a complete combustion of a perfect mixture, the problem is lessened to cope only with minor variations in the fuel-air mixture which cannot be helped. Therefore, the combustion heated catalyst provided by the present invention as a catalyst can handle the minor variations and virtually eliminates the exhaust gas dangers accompanying the variations tolerated in commercial vehicles.

When NO is likely to occur there will also be some oxygen present and insofar as I can ascertain, the formation of NO is inhibited, or if formed, is immediately decomposed as an exothermic reaction in which 2N0 N 0 at catalyst temperatures above 300 C. with a CuO catalyst. This will accomplish almost complete elimination of nitric oxide, the prevalent oxide of nitrogen which is the hardest to handle.

On the other hand, if an unvaporized or hydrocarbon fuel is unburned and CO is formed, oxygen will also be present and CO present is consumed by oxidization accelerated by the CuO catalyst at temperatures above 220 C.

Above 225 C. concentrations as high as 7% CO content were handled with satisfactory results regardless of water vapor content and hydrocarbon (oil vapor) present in low concentrations were also consumed to provide work energy. The usual turbulence developed by the compression stroke is a help and the location of the catalyst on the piston head is particularly effective.

Referring now to FIG. 11, an aluminum brake drum 80 for an aluminum motor vehicle road wheel is illustrated sectionally where the braking surface 82 on a preformed internal band of ferrous metal 84 is externally welded to the aluminum body 78 in a drum cavity 86 which is preferably formed by a forging process and machined to concentricity. The brake shoe is illustrated at 85. The method of making the bond or weld is similar to that already described in connection with the piston 50. The brake drum cavity 86 is stripped of aluminum oxide and metallized with a bonding metal, at the devated temperature noted. The outside surface of the ferrous metal band is metallized with aluminum and heated to a high temperature rendering the aluminum molten to diffuse into the ferrous metal surface and provide a Pe-Al alloy interlayer as already described. Thereafter, the band is allowed to cool to approximately 1000 F. and with the aluminum drum at a temperature of 900 F. the two parts are pressed together with a compressive pressure fit. Preferably thereafter the ferrous metal is again raised momentarily to approximately 1500 F. to expand it and assure weld temperature and pressure at the interface while the aluminum is being cooled rapidly to contract it and place the welding surfaces under pressure.

Reference is made to FIG. 12 where a depiction of a microphotograph of the prepared bond is shown with the mono-molecular layer 33 of the bonding metal between two layers of aluminum 12 and 43 and a diffusion layer of Fe-Al alloy is disposed between the outermost layer of aluminum 43 and the ferrous metal 36.

Although the invention can be used with cast as Well as forged aluminum bodies, it is primarily of interest with respect to forged bodies because the porosity of castings and the trouble and expense of casting molten aluminum against a reinforcing body with doubtful results is eliminated.

Moreover, dangers of flaking, plastic deformation, blistering and distortion that can occur with aluminum bodies subjected throughout to high temperatures for long periods of time are eliminated with the present invention because of the rapidity, short use and limited penetration of the heats employed. A temperature below, but close to the temperature of incipient fusion or eutectic melting of aluminum can be used quite safely. Even if all of the oxidized aluminum is not stripped by the chlorine gas, the mono-molecular molybdenum layer assures an unoxidized bonding surface which permits the brevity of high heat application found to be desirable for ultimate Welding.

Having thus described the invention and several embodiments thereof, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art how the objects of the invention are accomplished and how various and further modifications can be made including reinforced aluminum bearings without departing from the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is commensurate with the appended claims.
